Well we are leaving to go to Myrtle Beach for a week Sunday this will be a trip that I am not dreading. Heat doesn't bother me now plus I can wear a 2 piece again and i'm not wearing frumpy clothes this year. Marcey

I ran my 5K on Saturday and did awesome! When I started training for it 12 weeks ago, my goal was to finish in 45 min or less. As I trained and got faster, I was running the 3 miles in about 33 min, 30 on a good day. On race day, I ran it in 27 min. and 45 sec! They gave out awards by age group, I was 4th in mine, so didn't place, but felt great. Second and third place in my age group came in 47 and 48th in the race, I was 51, so I was right behind them. My Mom and Dad came to watch, along with my hubby and kids. My Mom cried. She said she was so happy that I am so healthy. My husband got lots of pictures, so I will be putting them on my profile soon. I went for my 6 week weigh-in that my surgeon requires and weighed in at 146, that's 105 lbs. lost. They measure my neck, chest, waist, hips, arm, thigh and calf (only one of each) and I have lost a total of 52 inches. That's almost 6 feet! If we counted the other thigh, arm and calf, I'm sure I would make 6 feet. I have been slacking on my eating. I won't bore you with all my excuses. I have been eating lots of things I shouldn't. So, today is a new day and I will do it right. My husband will be 6 weeks out tomorrow and he had his first check-up with me. He is down to 264 from 311. He is doing great. Can't handle milk, just makes him feel yucky, but everything else, he handles well. Thanks for reading. Marcia 251/146/130

Good Morning October Brothers and Sisters! How is everyone this morning? Good, I hope. It's Wed. and only 2 more days until the weekend! Our company is having a picnic at Knoebels ( an old amusement park in Elysburg, PA ) this Saturday. I went last year and had to be STUFFED into rides. I am so excited to sit in a ride normally and enjoy it, without that bar jammed into my belly!! Next Saturday I have a fellow Obesity Help friend from Baltimore, MD. coming to stay the weekend. I can't wait. I love meeting anyone I can off of here. Well, what is everyone else's plans? Erin 292/168/151
